    Function 2:  Preview Before Submit

    When applicants click "Review", once they get to the review page, I'd like to include some messaging that says "Please review your information to ensure it is accurate. If you need to make any corrections, please click the "Back" button at the bottom of the page.  Once you've confirmed your information is correct, click the "Submit" button.

    Is there a way for me to do that?

    This is not possible to do, but it's possible to achieve with a workaround, here are the steps: 

    1. First, add and format the text to your form using the paragraph element:

    2. Then get the <li> element ID, here is how: 

    - Right click on the element.

    - Click on the inspect option.

    - Copy the ID of the <li> element where the text is displayed on.

    3. Replace the "ID" with your copied ID on the code below:


    .form-all li#ID {

        display: none;

    }

    Then inject the code to your form following this guide: https://www.jotform.com/help/117-How-to-Inject-Custom-CSS-Codes

    I hope this helps.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for your help. I've tried, on my "test" clone survey, but no luck so far.

    A few follow up questions.

    1) Adding the "Paragraph" element - where should I be adding that?  Should it be at the top of the page, which is where I will want it to appear on the "Review" page (that's what I've been trying so far)?

    2) I've tried doing the CSS code thing - no luck. I'm also not sure I'm selecting the correct <li> element id, as there are lots of them in the code. Also, when I follow the instructions to inject the custom CSS coding, nothing seems to happen.  There is also already some custom coding in there, so I'm not sure how to "paste" the new coding, I just tried pasting it underneath the existing custom coding, but it all showed up as one long line.


    What has been happening is that, when I "preview" the survey, the paragraph that I've created still appears at the top of the survey page.  I want it to appear only at the top of the "Revew" page.


    Thanks again.

    1. You can position the Pharagrap at the top of your form:

    2. The CSS code can be placed at the bottom if you already have code there.

    Thanks, I think I've figured this part out now.

    But a new issue has popped up - I have a field that asks for the participant's Date of Birth.  It's entered automatically in this format: 11/11/2006

    However, on the "Review" page, the above date appears as :

    1590782771Capture Screenshot 10

    It seems to mistake the 11/2006 as a fraction.

    Is this a glitch? Is there a way to fix this?
